COLUMBUS — Gas prices in Ohio are holding relatively steady at their highest levels in more than two years as fighting continues in the oil-producing country of Libya.

A survey from auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and Wright Express says drivers in the state are paying an average of $3.55 per gallon for regular gas. That’s a penny higher than the average last Monday.

In the city of Medina, the most reasonable price for a gallon of regular-unleaded fuel was listed at $3.47 this morning at two locations. They were the Clark station, 427 N. Court St., and BP, 1050 N. Court St., according to OhioGasPrices.com.

The website lists a Super USA station in Salem, Ohio, as having the cheapest gas statewide at $3.21 per gallon, while the most expensive is $3.79 at a BP in New Paris, Ohio.

Statewide, fuel is up 20 cents from the average a month ago, and it’s much higher than the price a year ago, when regular gas was averaging just $2.70.

Oil prices have climbed as uprisings in Libya and elsewhere have threatened exports from that region amid a projected increase in oil use around the world this year.
